Minimum number of hours you can drop down to?
I’m curious what the minimum number of credit hours you can drop down to for each airline and under what conditions. I recently talked with someone from Spirit who mentioned you can drop to zero hours without having to pick up any trips. Does anyone else allow this?

While in theory this is true, in practice, it's a bit more complicated. We have a red/green reserve grid, and any trip that touches a red day can't be dropped, it can only be traded to another pilot. But true that there is no minimum number of credit or block hours one needs to maintain.

At Southwest you can drop down to zero provided you can get other pilots to pick up what you want to drop.

As stated, at NK you can drop all provided adequate reserve coverage. Additionally you can put your trips in open time, SWA style, for other pilots to pick up, again with no requirements to keep any credit.

Frontier allows you to drop to 60 hours credit for half the months and 70 credit the other half. You can drop virtually all of your flying, but you have to pick up to those levels by the end of the month. We have tons of scheduling flexibility but you must end the month with 60 or 70 credit hours. Many people are able to completely change their entire month from the award. Hope that made sense

Aa is zero. Guys will say they cant drop but you can with a lot of work
|
Delta you can drop to zero. Pretty easy in the categories I've been in if you can hold weekends off. Weekends are usually short staffed but typically you can drop any trips monday-friday
|
At JB you can drop to 70 into open time (if the reserve grid allows, which it usually doesn’t now), or down to 0 if someone picks it up off the trade board.

Allegiant down to 40
